QuoteI did not know that some regions are not posting lap times. Here in the SW and PA regions,  lap times are posted when the opportunity arises, that means as they can since it is really not  a prioity- getting the grid sheets out is.  They do get posted by the grids eventually.  If you are asking for them fifteen seconds after you exit the practice session- yes- you will probably get yelled at an in the SW region the nice ladies there will probably pull out your chest hair too.  If your region does not post them at all- mention this to the race director at the riders meeting.  He should be able to get this done barring any shortages of people,paper or toner.
LRRS has a runner and the laptimes for each practice/race are usually posted in Tech within 10 minutes.
As long as the transponders are owned and held by CCS, I believe the mylaps.com thing would be too labor-intensive as each rider can't be guarenteed to be packing the same transponder every week, which is vital to posting consistant results for each rider.
As far as outside help, they don't want to risk having data distributed that might contradict the official results, so all work on results is kept in-house.
At LRRS, we invited a few of the critics of our operations to come into the tower and show us how to do it better. Guess what? Nobody who came in could even get a grasp of how the software worked, let alone improve it. Different versions of race software aren't flooding the market, and they do have special reqirements that are needed by Timing and Scoring.
Sales of stopwatches at Street N Competition are way down since we got the system. They are very rare now.  ;D

QuoteI saw a few things here I would like to address.  I did not know that some regions are not posting lap times.

Second, did they stop making stopwatches?  I am sure a few people remember when they had them on wrist watches- even microwaves!  I bet if you went to an antique store you could find one for cheap.  They even had digital ones!  Point is quit being lazy  spoiled brats, spend less you amatuer year (no big trailers, flashy paint etc) and buy a stopwatch.  bribe a freind or fellow racer to take some times for you.  Next thing you all will want is CCS to provide telemetry since you are unsure when you use the brakes!  Seriously, if your region does not post times at all- this can be easily addressed. You could even volunteer to tape them up!  If you get nowhere with this through your race director- call Kevin.

It seems u did not read all of the posts.  Your comments are just dumb. You sound like a totaly NUM A$$$ as a result of the comments you made.
